Jose Veras blew his third save of the season Friday and took the loss against the Athletics.
Veras entered the ninth with a 5-3 cushion, but he walked two batters before surrendering a go-ahead three-run homer to Chris Young. The 32-year-old right-hander has quietly been pretty solid of late, notching six saves over a span of seven scoreless appearances. The Astros aren't going to win many games this year, but his job is safe for now.
May 24 - 11:47 PM
Jose Veras picked up his eighth save of the season as the Astros beat the Royals on Wednesday.
After a rough start to the year, Veras has settled into Houston's ninth-inning role nicely, converting his last six save opportunities and turning in seven consecutive scoreless outings. He now has a 3.32 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through 19 innings.
May 22 - 11:11 PM
Jose Veras struck out two in a perfect ninth Monday to earn his seventh save.
Veras was awful this spring and in the first two weeks of the season, but he has seven saves in eight opportunities since April 19. That's more saves than full-time closers Chris Perez, Bobby Parnell and Steve Cishek have this season.
May 20 - 11:46 PM
Jose Veras picked up his fourth save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning against the Angels on Wednesday.
It was Veras' second save in as many games for the Astros after blowing an opportunity in his previous outing. Inconsistency and early-season struggles have resulted in the low save total, but it seems like he's got a pretty firm grip on the job in Houston. What few save chances the Astros do have should continue to go to Veras for the foreseeable future.

Maxwell, who fractured his left hand on month ago, took 20 swings in the cage on Friday without discomfort. He's likely looking at a return in early June.

Bud Norris
Sidelined
Bud Norris (back) expects to make his next scheduled start.
Norris has left each of his last two starts with lower back spasms, but both times his removal was considered precautionary. He received massage treatment Wednesday and thinks "the prevention process of taking care of it now and getting me out of the game will help." Assuming he doesn't have a setback over the next few days, the righty will likely face the Rockies on Monday.

Josh Fields
D.L.
Josh Fields (forearm) could be activated from the disabled list in 7-10 days.
Fields suffered a right forearm strain in the first week of the season and has appeared in four games at Double-A Corpus Christi during his rehab assignment. The Astros want to see Fields work consecutive games without any setbacks before he's activated from the DL.

Paul Clemens
Sidelined
Paul Clemens left Monday's appearance with a right pinkie injury.
Clemens was struck by a comebacker and appeared to dislocate the finger, but the Astros' trainer popped it back in place and he stayed in to face one more batter. The club reconsidered after that, though, and decided to remove him. Clemens saved the bullpen with 5 1/3 scoreless relief frames after Erik Bedard lasted only 1/3 of an inning.

Alex White
D.L.
Alex White will undergo Tommy John surgery.
White showed diminished velocity this spring and was diagnosed with a strained pitching elbow, but the injury turned out to be worse than that. The young right-hander will obviously miss all of 2013 and might not be ready for the start of 2014.
